Beckett will undergo an operation on July 8 that is designed to help the right-hander regain feeling in his pitching hand, according to the Los Angeles Times. Beckett's top rib will also be removed to help relieve pressure from a compressed nerve that is believed to be the main source of his problem, according to the report.

Beckett, 33, is under contract for $15.75 million in 2014. He is expected to be ready for spring training next season.

Beckett's latest setback sparked the decision to have season-ending surgery. While throwing on flat ground on Friday, Beckett experienced a tingling in his fingers, according to the Times. Beckett had just begun to resume his throwing program this week after being shut down for a month with thoracic outlet syndrome.
